(then there shouldn't be a problem simply switching to the context ons, this makes is more likely that your hyperlinks work when using a different path, e.g. dvips->distiller/ghostscript->[pdf]) > E.g.

I think this is almost impossible to answer this -- at least without seeing an example and/or your macros. (If you really need them, you can make an example else simply use the ConTeXt commands.) Apropos PDFTeX, there exists a mailing list concerning pdf (and mainly pdftex) at pdftex@tug.org, subscribe pdftex, majordomo@tug.org, where you can ask questions concerning plain TeX (which is basicly what you are trying to achive; the list is also about pdfLaTeX, hyperref and "pdf-ConTeXt".) > 2) Is there a ``fancyverb'' like thing which would allow > mo to carry out commands in a ``verbatim'' environment? Even after scanning the fancyvrb.ps file, I'm not totally sure what is ment by 'carry out commands', but I think I got an idea of the features. The features of ConTeXt are not always the same but also advanced. Have a look at the source documentation in the files: verb-ini.tex -- this gives a nice overview about the verbatim possibilities. verb-*.tex contain the basics used for syntacs highlighting of PERL, Java/JavaScript, TeX, MetaPost and SQL. (This file is a must, if you want to add a language, else better skip it, it isn't that well (cp. to verb-ini commented and contains fewer examples.) You probably already know \typefile, \type, \starttyping ... \stoptyping. But do you know: \type<> word>> \type<> text>> (from verb-ini.tex a very nice reference!) If you have special needs, drop a note to this list.
